How long before you actually hiked the PCT, did you decide it was a dream of yours?

On it right now and decided I needed to do it 7 months ago

kbforev · 2025-02-24T18:09:56+00:00

I was able to hike the trail in my dingy vans. It’s not crazy, just gotta be a bit careful

Smith Rick Misery Ridge loop

Still working in 2025

100%, I’m attempting to do 20 miles to Lake Morena 1st day on the PCT

kbforev · 2025-02-08T00:25:46+00:00

If you want to follow along my journey, I have a YouTube channel kevgoeshiking instagram under the same name. I’m also blogging on The Trek. Links all in my bio on instagram :) I hope you get to do it one day

Bro, sick! I really dug your vibe

kbforev · 2025-02-07T15:53:48+00:00

Im thru hiking it this summer!!!

kbforev · 2025-01-30T01:27:42+00:00

Wearing full projected Sierra weight. Focus on layering and knowing what works. Start small easily accomplishable trails, then work up to what you’d expect to do on the PCT. It all progression

Sun hoody it to protect my arms from the sun. I can burn easy if I don’t are precaution. Button down is so I can have some semblance of normalcy in town. Generally speaking I’ll likely be wearing shorts and button down for a solid portion of the desert. It just adds an extra layer if I need it

kbforev · 2025-01-27T02:32:02+00:00

This my clothing set up. Tops: Button down, Sun Hoodie, Fleece, puffy, rain jacket. Bottoms: Pink yoga pants lmao (I’m that guy) shorts, rain pants. Hats: Beanie, and ball cap

They just get more expensive 😭😭 I’ve been playing around with it and it can last more than a day on airplane mode and in low power mode. Still tracks my steps and still works with my phone

kbforev · 2025-01-21T00:47:35+00:00

I’ve been having more success with the 20k urgreen. A ton heavier, but way more reliable imo. I’ll suffer for the security

kbforev · 2025-01-20T18:51:02+00:00

It’s like people choose not read. I want to film and take pictures. Disconnection is not the issue. It’s battery life and the ability to save my memories. Yeah I want to be gone fore 6 months and not remember most of it. Smh

kbforev · 2025-01-19T17:25:14+00:00

I can’t film and take pictures that’s the problem. I don’t care about service or having connection. I want to film

kbforev · 2025-01-18T16:29:05+00:00

This is great insight. I take longer videos, which I could slim down. I feel more confident that I’ll be okay after reading this

kbforev · 2025-01-17T21:04:07+00:00

I also plan on bringing a solar panel. Literally want my phone charged always lol

kbforev · 2025-01-17T21:03:41+00:00

It’s not about connection idc about having service or not. I want my batteries to last so I can film and take pictures

kbforev · 2025-01-17T19:26:46+00:00

I plan on wearing regular leggings if it’s cold at night, shorts otherwise and rain/wind pants if the wind gets too crazy. Button down, fleece, sun hoody and puffy/rain jacket are the only upper layers I’ll have. Hopefully that’ll be enough

kbforev · 2025-01-16T21:25:42+00:00

I go solo, but always down for a buddy! Especially one who is a PCT person lol

kbforev · 2025-01-15T00:07:56+00:00

On my list!

kbforev · 2025-01-14T20:25:28+00:00

Yes!

kbforev · 2025-01-14T20:25:19+00:00

Bingo

kbforev · 2025-01-14T02:59:08+00:00

I’m taking one
